....At Fort Toulouse on the Coosa river, established by the French
in 1714, Captain Marchand as at one time commander. He was killed there in 1722. He had taken as
a wife a Muscogee or Creek maiden of the Clan of the Wind, called the most
powerful clan of the Creek nation. He had a beautiful daughter called Sehoy Marchand.

There came from a wealthy home in Scotland a youth of sixteen to see the wonders of this land. His
name was Lachlan McGillivray. He landed in Carolina, joined the Indian traders about 1735,
saw at length the young Sehoy Marchand, "cheerful in countenance, bewitching in looks, and graceful
in form," then herself about sixteen years of age, married her, some say about 1745, when he had gained some property,
spent nearly fifty years as Indian trader and Georgia royalist in the American wilds, left
his Indian children and his plantations, when the British left Savannah,
about 1782, and returned to his native land, taking with him "a vast amount of money and movable effects." But of
his Indian children, part Indian, part Scotch, part French,
one, Alexander McGillivray, became noted, wealthy, and powerful. He was well educated at Charleston.
He returned to the Indian country, took control of the Creek nation, received from the British
the rank and pay of a British colonel in the War of the Revolution, in 1884 went to Pensacola
and made a treaty with Spain as being "Emperor" of the Creeks
and Seminoles, in 1790 at New York made a treaty with the American government
receiving the rank of brigadier general with a salary of twelve hundred dollars a year, and afterwards was appointed by Spain
Superintendent -General of the Creek nation with a salary of two thousand dollars a year which was increased in July,
1792, to thirty-five hundred. He was at the same time a member of a wealthy commercial house. He died in Pensacola
February 17, 1793. One of his sisters, the beautiful and talented Sophia McGillivray, married Benjamin
Durant, who was of Huguenot descent, who came from South Carolina and as early
as 1786 was settled on the Alabama River. Another Indian trader, Charles Weatherford, some say from Scotland, some say from England,
married a half sister of Alexander McGillivray, the daughter of a chief of pure Indian blood, who had been
formerly married to Colonel Tate, at one time a British officer at Fort Toulouse. We find
here therefore the names of Tate, Durant, Weatherford, and McGillivray, as members of connected
families of mixed blood, talented, wealthy, influential, with whom, as individuals, in the Creek-War history
we shall become further acquainted. A number of other noted border men there were who need not here be named. But one more
name should not be omitted.

General Le Clerc Milfort,
a well educated Frenchman, was among the Muscogees from 1776 to 1796, and he also married
a sister of Alexander McGillivray, who was sometimes called Colonel and in later life General
McGillivray. Milfort was for some time a noted war chief among these Indians. He returned to France
and published at Paris in 1802 a work known as "Gen. Milfort's Creek Indians."
It does not appear that he left among the Indians any descendants. ...

Eggleston, who wrote an interesting work called The Red Eagle, a name applied to Weatherford. whose Indian name was Hoponika Futsahia,
in English, according to Woodward, Truth Maker, represents Weatherford as having been the
great leader in the whole Creek war, a kind of general or commander-in-chief of all the Indian forces. But
no evidence for anything of this kind has been found. There is no evidence of his presence in any conflict, only for a short
time at Fort Mims and in defending the Holy Ground.*

* See Woodward's Reminiscences.

It is sure that Weatherford made a voluntary surrender of himself to General Jackson;
not as Waldo says, after exhausting his vocabulary in describing his terrible ferocity, then at last "flung himself into
the hands of General Jackson and demanded his protection:" but coming with no demands, he placed his
life at the disposal of the conquering general. He requested relief for starving women and children and for the deluded Indians
who had followed their chiefs and their prophets. In reply to the charges of General Jackson, Weatherford claimed
to be innocent of much that had been charged to him; "that he regretted the unfortunate destruction of Fort Mims
as much" as did Jackson himself. "He said it was true he was at Fort Mims
when the attack was made, and it was but a little while after the attack was made before the hostile Indians seemed inclined
to abandon the undertaking; that those in the fort, and particularly the half-breeds under Dixon Bailey,
poured such a destructive fire into their ranks as caused them to back out for a short time. At this stage of the fight he
advised them to draw off entirely. He then left to go some miles" away, to look after the negroes of his half brother,
David Tate. He also said to General Jackson that he joined the war party, for one thing,
to save bloodshed, and that "but for the mismanagement of those that had charge of the fort he would have succeeded"
there. These statements Woodward says were given to him by General Jackson himself. The
speech attributed to Weatherford lacks sufficient evidence of genuineness to insure its credibility. It is
out of harmony with the well attested facts of his actual part in the war. It seems evident, and such is Woodward's
statement, that Jackson formed the opinion that he was a brave, fair-minded, truthful man, whom circumstances had forced into
the war party. Jackson spared his life, gave him such protection as was needful, and his plantation life
afterward on Little River as a good citizen is abundantly attsted.

Notes on William "Red Eagle" Weatherford.

Some years back, while living in OK, I was informed that this Weatherford line is of the "Eastern
Band" and did not travel to Okla. .
